BOWLED OVER
This is the price of success: You have to reopenina larger space to serve your growing fan base. As the most popular franchise in the PLAYA BOWLS chain, the eatery at 19 Church St. has reopened around the corner on South ParkSt., in the former location of Oil & Vinegar. The new Playa Bowls offers a larger menu, including poke bowls— assortments of raw marinated fish with vegetables over rice— and adécor that makes you want to hop on a surfboard. But if you went to the former location expecting bowls full of fresh fruit, nuts, frozen acai and coconut, you can still get it there: That location has been rebranded as Sweet Berry Bowls.
